Some people don’t care enough to try and understand

it also proxies the video and blocks trackers iirc, giving you some form of anonymity from Google

Aren’t most of the data the NSA collects from third parties like Google and Apple who already sell that data? can’t anybody theoretically buy that data if its being sold? much like the mobile US carrier’s were doing

what’s so “new” about this concern? I’d probably be able to afford a house if I had a dollar for every article I saw on Tesla’s wrecking or nearly wrecking because of FSD.

problem is most people do. anybody remember watch dogs?

brother I’m American and I didn’t even know you could buy waffle maker machines until a few months ago, I thought they were all frozen

There’s no emulation. Worst case scenario, the game is using Microsoft’s proprietary DirectX graphics API, so we translate those calls to Vulkan or OpenGL with DXVK. That’s simply out of our control since we cannot see or modify the code, but everything else is running on Linux.

Intel actually uses DXVK on Windows for better compatibility and performance for their Arc GPU’s.

what?

greg just fucking cooked

No, if it’s working for you, why bother? Unless you’re the adventurous distro hopper, stick to what’s working for you. I’d only take the time to switch my home to bazzite if Nobara started causing problems.

Gaming.

if you game on Linux you wanna go with bazzite, games “just work” on there without any tweaking or fixing or patching. And in the rare case you do need to patch a game like gmod, they have a built in script for it like ujust fix-gmod

I’ve been on fedora for quite awhile, what makes tumbleweed better or unique? might try it sometime

bruh

as a linux user I am embarrassed they didn’t know

without software, what is hardware? same vice versa, you need good software and hardware to match for a good user experience.

stock android’s software is extremely shit, bloated, and slow. but I guess that goes for every out of the box os these days ¯_(ツ)_/¯

wdym condescension? sorry if I’m being rude that isn’t my intention

while I agree, signal is also on Linux and is a more polished alternative

nothing lesser about grapheneos or lineageos at all.

iirc there are problems with trying to use some mainstream apps on these operating systems. When I say lesser I don’t mean to demean them, I mean they’re the lesser used and not really known about alternative and thus not really supported unless you can live your life in f-droid which if so, kudos to you, you’re livin’ the dream.

but im all ears if you have a usable alternative for a foss phone.

like I said I wish I lived where you lived

yeah, again, just like Chromium technically speaking.

Let’s use the lesser, Foss version of Google’s product so they can continue to have a monopoly, so then later they can force you to install a proprietary blob or account apps or services need.
